    Can anyone clear something up for me please?? It's been bugging me for ages - there's is a Kevin Costner film set in the 1920's (??) i think or maybe earlier and at the start its goes over various news stuff of the time and he says something like in sports a black canadian was the best fighter in the world - his name was Sam Langford and a brief clip is shown of a Sam Langford fight (!!) not sure which one it was but if memory serves me correctly (which it probably isn't then sure it was an outdoor match against another black fighter - so obviously not Jim Flynn) - am desperate to find out which Kevin Costner film it was and more importantly which fight it was - getting ahead of myself before finding out for sure what fight it was but i wonder if the whole fight is out there somewhere - SOMEONE PLEASE CLEAR THIS UP FOR ME
